AH, so it's core pay = level 2 plus supplement level 2 = 4 (probably just as well I'm not a shiny type) but that is still a few grand below where the norm should be for a "proper" ICT technician grade.

With shift work and a bit of overtime working most civvie techies I know (those who can do install or maintenance) will make £35-40K and get a reasonable car + mileage, or car allowance + mileage, in a non supervisory role. Help desk type jobs (at team leader/supervisor level) are usually under £30K.

There again, the evaluation between civvie/service jobs might take into account that most help-desk people have a degree in media studies or gardening while a lot of real techies "only" have BTECH or NVQ.

I have to admit that I always say that if I had my time again I would still join up but I don't think it would be the same response if I was in now and someone asked me the same question in 30 years time.
 
:PDT_Xtremez_28:ABSOLUTELY FRACKING AWESOME:PDT_Xtremez_28:..................... AND TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where did it go??????????????????????
 
Well...

Seems that the levels I posted all those months ago wasn't too far off the mark.

And to think we all recieved an E-mail saying that it wasn't gen.
 
I'm sure the renaming of the trade for marketing purposes will help recruitment and retention though.
 
This episode of The Chase reminds me of the first day of Tg4:

Peanuts come over bringing a negative impact to the trade.

They walk off with a big bonus hanging off the backs of the more qualified guys.

Until now....
 
I thought we had a positive impact on the trade, that's why we got a pay rise? What with being able to type faster and stamp straighter than our fuse-swapping cousins?!

I'd heard that the pay guys have finally realised that all the TG3 guys did was stare at radars and tug each other off up Mount Kent. Hence Supp 2.

You should try a mountain tour, it's not that bad.

I'll do your iHub job and you can go up to one of the radars.

Oh no, you can't do my job can you?

Still get paid the same though.
 
Not too sure how we have ended up in sup 2. At my location we're still working down to component level, repairing tracks on PCB's and attending the associated courses at Sealand.......

Correct me if i'm wrong but that is more technical than the work some of the AV Techs carry out........
